basement tapes

so we get

loaded in the van and drive through the suburbs

and we set

out on highway thirty-five to discover

what's the plan?

sliding through the dark in all kinds of weather

where's the map?

one of us is barely holding it together

i've still got all your basement tapes

i'm still hearing you drift away

sing those things that you just don't say

right to your brother

hide your head in the evergreen

ply your heavenly alchemy

still just living the big star dream

live with each other

so we tool

down to kansas city to sleep on a sofa

and we're cool

temporarily cos we're from minnesota

later on

walking in the dark with a sweet babysitter

on the lawn

talking while inside you made out with her sister

i've still got all your basement tapes

i'm still hearing you drift away

sing those things that you just don't say

right to your brother

hide your head in the evergreen

ply your heavenly alchemy

still just living the big star dream

live with each other

summer diamonds rushing by us

wake me up when we get there

i'm still cranking your basement tapes

i'm still hearing you drift away

sing those things that you just don't say

right to your brother

hide your head in the evergreen

ply your heavenly alchemy

still just living the big star dream

live with each other
